Note: Marty Romano was probably your strongest man living in Hunterdon County and NJ--he was a natural athlete and had incredible strength, Hercules like strength, and did not weight lift (it was natural). Marty was a conservative and a Pro-Trumper. His companion (really his wife) Laura Arduine was a Yusanis (Lithuanian). Her aunt was Ann Atamanuik, her maiden name was Yusanis. Aunt Ann and Uncle Joe had many picnics at her house and Marty would be there--people enjoyed his company. Marty grew up in Hunterdon County so he knew most of the people in the area. He knew Richard Smith since their teenage years and Richard was the nephew of Joe Atamanuik. Marty will be missed greatly. May God grant him peace.
